Opps, I should have talked about the wheels and tires. If you go the steel route as I did, I would recommend you get the wheels that you want and then have the flares fitted around the wheels and tires that you want. You will get a fit that is second to none -- otherwise you are going to get the cart before the horse if flares are just welded on without knowing where you are going.
Yeah, that's proabably the most important thing. As others posted, some flares can be funky. Mine were fabricated in metal from the original fiberglass flares from Shell Burger in AZ who has done national show cars. So I know the fabrication can be done, and if going that route just be sure you go with someone you trust that really knows metal work, maybe not PepBoys.
